Word around Ake using Swedish blood builder and Gural turns blind eye to it. Out of competition testing done this week on many barns. Guess who didn’t get tested? Yes Ake! His horses turn from out of trot to monsters. Other trainers are pissed!!!

The winners he's had the last 2 days have been very heavily bet too. Below even money.
Fucking greedy mother fuckers, they want it all!

Whether true or not. Who does he train for and who is he partners with in horses? IMO, a bit of a conflict of interest.
-
Gural owning horses at his own track has always been a huge conflict of interest. No one has ever seemed to mind and I’m not really sure why.

He CANNOT Run Overnights At Tioga n Vernon. Tioga horsemen said OK, but Vernon’s said NO WAY.

I don't know if there was OTC testing. If there was two top stables were missing their Wheaties. Burke & Takter are big stakes players & both were not heard from. The telling sign is when some top ones rode rail & lost ground in the stretch.

You are right. Horrible nights for those 2. Some of the Takter horses were beat by 9, 10, 12 15 and 17 lengths. None hit the board !! Burke win the open but had 3 horses in it. Crazy stuff. Mike will find out what is going on.

Use Google Translate. It is a Swedish article. Ake was accused of using an electric pig prod to train horses. He was not convicted due to a technicality. I saw one article where it was reported he even admitted it.

No individual can be, or try to be, bigger than an industry. Else that industry fails.
Seeing track owners in their own winners circle sickens me. Looks like something that woukd expect to see happen in Russia, not the US

It’s disgusting and he bans the trainers that cheat as good or better than his guys.

Don’t have a problem with Gural owning and racing horses at his own tracks. Track owners have been doing it forever. He just has a love affair with Ake and lets him get away with anything he wants. There’s no way Ake can just be that much better than everyone else and yes the NJRC did out of competition testing this week. He plugs them when he wants. If Gap Kronos has any trot in the Hambo eliminations there needs to be a full investigation. He had none last night.

It's wrong now and it's been wrong forever. It's not appealing to buy babies that have to race against ownership. And how often do gural horses get roughed up on the track by other drivers? I say very very rarely. That's not fair to the betting public.

I think it's because his track his rule.
I guess if you don't like it then race somewhere else.
Sort of like it's my house and I can do whatever I like!

I agree 100% with this!

Do the owners of the Red Mile race their horses there ?.? Answer is YES !!!

Red mile is the worst track a gambler can find. I love the breakage in KY but it is seriously outweighed by all the nonsense at that track. Makes perfect sense to me that the owners race there.

What trainer is pissed?

Not any professional ones. And how exactly do they know that the commission didn’t test Ake horses? Were they hiding in the bushes on private property instead of taking care of their barn?

Ake is a criminal and he should be deported along with his cattle prod!

Ake might be as "clean" in the US as any other top trainer. It has been so long that I have not found all the Swedish articles published at the time. I did read one where the allegedly quoted Ake as saying he did use an electric prod at one time but stopped using it because it was ineffective. I also remember seeing an article indicating he was not convicted based on technical issues not innocence. Again those articles were in Swedish and I have not been able to find them again.
